jewzaseven's Ballot for Week 8 of 2014-15| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
UK over Louisville keeps UK #1. Unless an ACC team(UVA, Duke, Louisville) can destroy the rest of its conference, UK will stay #1. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Duke hasn't played this week, so I'm not inclined to move their place |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
Hasn't done anything to move them down or up, look at Arizona and Louisville. |
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
A great team that has been playing consistently well. Best in the Big 10. |
| 5 |
Louisville
|
Kentucky vs. Louisville: Louisville's underwhelming offense didn't score on the few open shots UK allowed, and played a dirty game. |
| 6 |
Gonzaga
|
A win over a quality BYU team bumps them up over Villanova. |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
Did a good job this week but Gonzaga did an even better job. |
| 8 |
Iowa State
|
If you thought the ACC was tough this year, you better look at B12 too. Currently in contention along with several other teams for the title |
| 9 |
Utah
|
Pac 12 is looking better and better, and it seems like the title could go to Utah. |
| 10 |
Maryland
|
Man oh man, Maryland is just great, and that loss to Virginia is looking less and less bad as Virginia is making its power known. |
| 11 |
Arizona
|
Arizona. UNLV is doing well, but 'zona has already had some trouble winning against lesser teams. |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
UNC just keeps getting better, and Justin Jackson is looking clutch |
| 13 |
Ohio State
|
|
| 14 |
Notre Dame
|
That offensive power though....scary scary. |
| 15 |
Texas
|
Texas is still playing a good defense, just like Arizona. But like Arizona, their pretty good opponent had an especially great night. |
| 16 |
St. John's
|
|
| 17 |
Wichita State
|
Wichita State has been having close calls and finally lost to a pretty good GW team. Still though, the team will rebound from this. |
| 18 |
Oklahoma
|
|
| 19 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 20 |
Kansas
|
Kansas needs to focus and get its game together after a drubbing by Temple. If it can do that, it will again be a contender. |
| 21 |
Washington
|
^Replace Kansas with Washington and Temple with Stony Brook. |
| 22 |
Baylor
|
|
| 23 |
Northern Iowa
|
|
| 24 |
San Diego State
|
Survived an OT with New Mexico State but didn't convince me to go higher or lower. Georgetown and co. are nipping on its heels. |
| 25 |
Georgetown
|
A win over a quality team in Indiana in an exciting game. Georgetown has been close to Top 25 for a while, and this did it. Next: TCU, VCU |
